Let it not be said that the PR team at Panasonic UK aren’t up for a challenge. After yesterday’s HDC-SD600 announcement, we challenged them to get us a sample within 24 hours. And they did!

Here it is – Panasonic’s latest 3MOS, 1080/50p AVCHD high-definition camcorder. Only yesterday did we reveal the news that it was to join the Panasonic line-up and today we have a brand new sample right here on the SimplyDV editorial desk.

Perhaps we should be honest and say that at least one member of the SimplyDV editorial team will be schlepping around on the western Algarve in Portugal over the next few days and it was in this context that those nice people at Panasonic were invited to let the newly-announced HDC-SD600 to join the party! They rose to the challenge admirably. Let’s hope it’s not raining in Portugal!

We’ll make sure that we get a range of great 1080/50p AVCHD test shots for you, which will accompany our exclusive review in full-HD as soon as we’re back and hitting the keyboard in earnest.

Meanwhile, if you need more info then please check out the news story posted only yesterday.

Update: Okay, so we’ve given up on the Portugal trip due to the dramatic impact of a certain Icelandic volcano on our flight plans. The camcorder will now get its first UK test drive in Devon and Cornwall where – unlike southern Portugal – it’s not raining heavily! (Editor)
